Would everyone agree Thing takes it over Nick if Jessica wasn’t in the poll though?
Thing is extremely easy to counter if you know his mechanics and how to fight against him.
Nick is just a time consuming fight, but also not difficult, especially with a champ that can counter his second-life.
idk what i am missing on her
I am always much happier to see a Thing in BGs, because I know my Masacre can take it down in under 30 seconds and still have over 95% health left (unless I massively screw up).
The thing is, If I saw you guys draft a Black Cat, Masacre, Falcon, Valk etc then I wouldn’t draft Thing.
Speaking from experience I would either
1) Wait until the later rounds of the draft to sneak in Thing if I saw you didn’t draft any of those skill counters to catch you off guard
Or
2) Draft thing early on in hopes those skill champs don’t show up. And IF they did, then I simply would make you waste your draft on them, as I wouldn’t put Thing down on defense
I'm not saying Nick Fury is a top tier defender, I'm just saying in my opinion, I would rather have to face Thing, as I find him a lot easier to counter, quicker, and with a larger range of Champs.

Thing you only have to watch unstoppable so no problem there most times for me anyway.
I can see this is like talking to a wall, so I'm just going to give up after this. You asked for people's opinions, and when they didn't agree with you, you didn't like it and got triggered. But people struggle and thrive against different opponents.
You want my honest opinion? I think that Thing is so outdated as a top defender and is now extremely easy to counter, I am GLAD when I have to face him. A good player can counter him successfully with almost every single champ, so long as you understand the mechanics.
2nd place: Thing with the right nodes can be a problem, but for the most part is a simple fight as long as you’re able to manage his stacks. And an sig 200 thing can just be an annoying long fight if you don’t have a good counter.
3rd place: Nick is pretty straightforward, but might take some block damage if he’s not willing to throw heavies. As long as you can keep him from throwing sp1 the fight is over, and that is even easier now with strikers.
Along with the 20+ people in the poll you so kindly created, yet fail to acknowledge. Evidence for you below:
I'm pretty sure in almost all, if not all of my comments, I clarified my opinion with 'this is my own personal opinion', since this is not a factual debate, rather just people's opinions, which you asked for. You just got triggered when everyone didn't side with you.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on who is the more difficult champ to face. Just because you try to shout yours the loudest, doesn't make it correct. Many more people than just me, disagree with you on this.
And your other poll doesn't prove anything, regardless of who comes out on top, the fact that it isn't 100% either way shows, it's opinion! And you won't change mine by acting infantile because you didn't hear what you wanted on a public forum.
All I know is (as the question that was originally posted), I believe that NF is a better defender than Thing, but not as good as JJ, and I would definitely block a NF over Thing in BGs.
